	the res you can do depends on your monitor, what resolution does your monitor support? you could get away with 3GB and add 3 more later, you will need to call DS and have them reset the oc for you. each cpu is different so there is no way to tell the oc speed ahead of time. you need to change you psu to 750w corsair. keep in mind that mobo can only do dual sli and no other cards or one pci card (like a sound card) and one gpu. you did not choose the free stage 1 oc, change that also. depending on your res for your monitor, a 5850 or 5870 is what you really want.
